Australian mythology through puppetry
Written, directed and designed by David Morton, The Riddle of Washpool Gully imagines a forgotten creek bed where something ancient begins to stir. The production combines storytelling, contemporary puppetry and miniature sets to create a world of creatures at the edge of a changing landscape.
Originally produced by Terrapin Puppet Theatre in association with Dead Puppet Society, the work uses a small-scale visual world to tell a much larger story. Ben Hughes designed the lighting, with music by Heath Brown and sound design by Brady Watkins. The 2026 touring programme included a season in QPAC's Cremorne Theatre.
Lighting fixtures travelling with the show
Krank'd supplied ACME AECO 5 fixtures to DPS Productions for the national tour between February and April 2026. The hire placed the same fixture model into a package travelling between venues.
The AECO 5 offers a moving profile with framing and colour mixing, useful tools where miniature scenery and full-size performers occupy the same view. Supplying the fixtures as part of the touring package gave the production a consistent model to carry between venues, supporting Ben Hughes' established lighting design.
